A bit of a delayed #Evol2023 post, but I was apparently late to the Princeton University Press book giveaway on the last day of the conference, so this was all I was able to nab before the table was completely ransacked.

Highlights from my notes on the Evolution meetings in Albuquerque: parallel adaptation, genomics of species interactions, useful new bioinformatic and analysis utilities, and more

The most valuable thing I learned at #Evol2023 was from the Diné. Their presentations and discussion were full of important information for empowering and working with any community outside mainstream western culture, but this one point stuck with me more than anything else all week:

Language is medicine.

Nothing beats an unexpected reunion with a college friend. #Evol2023

Had a wonderful trip to #Evol2023 and met some old friends from the desert:

#evol2023 was a genuine blast. Thank you all for attending and sharing your work and all-around good vibes 😁

It was great to see all the science and colleagues at #Evol2023! Here's a thread of some tidbits:

#Evol2023 My tour is over! Heading back to LA now. A ton of things to be done waiting ahead of me…

And that's a wrap! Thanks to everyone who attended #Evol2023 - it was so lovely to see you all. Looking forward to Montreal! @sse_evolution @SystBiol @ASNAmNat

Hi #Evol2023 attendees--a student in my lab is looking for a Super Social ticket. Please DM if you have one. Thanks!

My brain on the last day of a conference:

#Evol2023

#Evol2023 lost and found - we have some hats, sunglasses, water bottles, and a few other items. If one or more of these items might be yours, they are behind the registration desk.

Free books at Princeton University Press booth starting at 4pm today. Available to anyone; please take only one. #Evol2023

David Černý presenting his new (dated) supertree inference method BLeSS, with some cool insights on the pros and cons of imputing missing taxa #Evol2023 #Evolution2023 #phylogenetics #macroevolution

Teaching is a standard part of grad school, and funded, but organizing outreach programs is usually "extra", what if there was a substantial chunk of funds for it, at the University level? (next: how do we get those funds) #Evol2023

I'm impressed by both the rapid implementation and the technical quality of the live speech-to-text now for talks at #Evol2023

Kudos to those who helped get this up and running mid-meeting!

Thanks to all SSB symposium speakers from this morning!

Now closing the symposium on "Paving the road to the phenome: challenges in working with a large number of phenotypes" with a discussion panel #Evol2023
